Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

C++20 Modules
Interesting to see how it works in CMake. I have been working for a long time on a build system that (originally) was my best shot at a "Build system for modules". Would be curious of your thoughts: Soup Build

Does anyone have trouble writing C++ 20/23 modules definition?
Been using modules extensively for the past 2 years to write my build system (which itself is focused on using modules). Writing modules themselves has been really easy, as long as the compilers doesnt hit any issues. Working within MSVC has become a lot better in the last 6 months to the point where I rarely see issues anymore. Every time I try to switch to Clang or GCC it seems to fail on the most simple examples, but I hear GCC has made some improvements lately.

YAMBS: Yet Another Meta Build System for C++ (written in Rust).
It is a tool I threw together to help debug my build system internals. It is WinUI, so windows only for now, but I hope to migrate it to MAUI so it can run cross platform.

A build-system for make C++ projects with modules!
Great to see more people interested in this area! Just finished reading the readme and I am really curious how you are finding the Clang modules support. Last time I tried to use it it was still heavily mixed up with Clang Modules and not that great with modules-ts. I have written my own very similar project and landed on MSVC as my primary compiler since it has the best Modules support I have found. I will hopefully find some time tonight to play around with the project more, but here are some quick thoughts.

About C++ Dependency Management
Great writeup. I have been thinking about the problem of dependency management within C++ for a while now. I believe that without adoption of a build system that was designed to handle dependency resolution natively with modules, we will always require fragile manual integration steps. If you are interested, I wrote a blog post on what I believe it will take to create such a build system and am actively working on an implementation.

On which hobby or side projects are you working on?
A build system aimed at collaboration across teams, languages and platforms. Started out as a basic attempt to take advantage of C++20 Modules, but grew from there: https://github.com/SoupBuild/Soup

Been using https://cmkr.build/ for a while now, its great and also declarative.

Best practice for cpp projects using CMake
I would like to counter with a project I’ve been working on: https://cmkr.build. Unfortunately writing good CMake is extremely repetitive and there is definitely room for a generator that has sane defaults.

How Visual Studio Became Unusable to Me
You are trying to use it the wrong way it seems, the point of CMakeLists.txt is that you only maintain that and nothing else. If you have changes in there then it will re-generate the project for you when it starts building. Adding files via IDE is not supported and is not really the point, there used to be a time where I primarily worked with VS solutions but the more I dove into the open source space the more it became clear that its the worst way of doing it. You just have to get used to a different workflow, the benefit is that your project can be in theory now compiled on all sorts of systems and not just with VS. If CMake is too much to handle perhaps give https://cmkr.build/ a try, it hides a lot of the CMake madness behind its toml specification, been using it for a while now, its great.

What about a CMake transpiler?
https://cmkr.build/ its pretty straight forward and been using it for some time now, can only highly recommend it.

I started working on https://github.com/build-cpp/cmkr to remedy this, but other similar solutions exist.
